So you waited over two months for an answer?

I took me about one minute to find this with Google: www.doom9.org: GUIDE LIST: Stereo-to-Surround Conversion Guides

and for example, this thread from that list: 2 Channel Stereo WAV file to AC3 5.1 Dolby Digital?

its pretty straight forward....just browse a PCM wav and start encoding, DTS is also supported......i've heard that the ac3 encoder is not as good as those paid version....this is the only free ac3 i know , it's by ffmpeg
